Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device and, more particularly, to a method of fabricating a fin field effect transistor by which an electrically stable fin field effect transistor can be implemented
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram of a known fin FET.
- polysilicon is used as a material of a gate 5 and a gate oxide layer 6 is formed of SiO2 as a gate dielectric.
- a threshold voltage of an NMOS or PMOS device due to a work function difference in case of using polysilicon for a bulk transistor varies, thereby degrading a stable operation of the device.
- leakage current is generated due to the SiO2 layer as the gate oxide layer, which may prevent the device from operating stably.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram of a known fin FET.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram depicting an example method of fabricating a fin FET.
- the example methods and apparatus described herein provide a method of fabricating a fin field effect transistor in which metal and high-K dielectric are used as a gate material and a gate dielectric, respectively, and in which a variation of a threshold voltage of a PMOS/NMOS device due to a work function difference is appropriately adjusted, and in which leakage current can be reduced.
- One example method includes forming a thermal oxide layer as a hard mask for etching a silicon fin on an SOI substrate, transcribing a fin pattern, forming a fin FET body by etching using the fin pattern as an etch mask, restoring a sidewall damaged by the etching in a manner of growing to remove a sacrifice silicon oxide layer, depositing a high-K dielectric as a gate dielectric, depositing a metal layer, planarizing the metal layer to a height of an hard oxide mask, forming a nitride layer on the planarized metal layer, patterning the nitride layer using a hard mask for forming a pattern to form a nitride layer pattern, forming a metal gate using the nitride layer pattern, removing a remaining hard oxide mask, and growing a sidewall oxide layer on the metal gate.
- one selected from the group consisting of HfO2, Ta2O5, and ZrO2 is used as a raw material of the high-K dielectric.
- the metal gate is formed of one selected from Ru—Ta, TaN, and Mo based metals.
- a thermal oxide layer is grown on an SOI (silicon on insulator) substrate having a buried oxide layer 10 about 400 nm thick and a P or N-doped device layer about 300 nm thick using a hard mask for silicon fin etching. Additionally, a fin pattern having a thickness of 20 ⁇ 100 nm is transcribed by E-beam lithography.
- SOI silicon on insulator
- a fin FET body is formed on the SiO2/SOI substrate by RIE (reactive ion etch) using the fin pattern as an etch mask. Subsequently, a sacrifice silicon oxide layer is grown about 70 nm thick and is then removed to restore sidewalls damaged by RIE.
- High-K dielectric is deposited 5 ⁇ 10 nm thick as a gate dielectric 60 . In doing so, HfO2, Ta2O5, ZrO2 or the like is used as a raw material of the high-K dielectric.
- a metal layer is deposited about 400 nm thick by physical vapor deposition (PVD) to form a gate.
- a Ru—Ta, TaN (cube and hexagonal), or Mo based metal is used as a gate electrode material.
- the metal layer is then planarized to the height of a hard oxide mask by CMP (chemical mechanical polishing).
- a silicon nitride (Si3N4) layer is deposited as a hard mask for forming a pattern on the metal layer by CVD (chemical vapor deposition). Patterning is then carried out by DUV (deep ultraviolet).
- a metal gate 50 is formed by etch using a pattern formed by the patterning as an etch mask and the remaining hard oxide mask is removed by HF.
- a sidewall oxide is grown about 75 nm thick to prevent shorting of the metal gate and to protect a silicon layer from source/drain ion implantation.
- source/drain ion implantation is carried out on the substrate using As or B as a dopant.
- RTA rapid thermal annealing
- reference numbers 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 , and 60 indicate buried oxide, Si, pad oxide, Si3N4, Metal gate, and high-K dielectric, respectively.
- metal and high-K dielectric are used as a gate material and a gate dielectric, respectively, whereby a variation of a threshold voltage of a PMOS/NMOS device due to a work function difference is appropriately adjusted. Additionally, the example fabrication method described herein can reduce leakage current and ensures electrical stability of the device operation.
